Picked it up about 20:12pm and watched it for a good 2-3 minutes till it disappeared into cloud cover going into the east
Hey Grant, tomorrow night should be much better. Tonight was magnitude -1.0 and max altitude 28 deg. Tomorrow (20:32 - 20:37) should be -2.4 magnitude (brighter with shuttle attached?) and 90 deg (that's right, smack through the zenith and with darker sky as well!)

Much the same again Monday night 19:40 - 19:46 (-2.3 mag and 82 deg)

Get that camera on a tripod with long exposure!
